Dear Dr Fang,
How are you? I am writing to ask for some 36 about how to help my 15-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost anything 37 his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very 38 . Though his grandparents buy him many things, yet he is still 39 to them and often shouts at them. He also 40 to spend time with us or do as we tell him.
Recently, he has been refusing to do his homework, and instead insists on 41 his time listening to foreign music. I cannot understand that 42 , and I don’t like it. Meanwhile, he spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games 43 chats on the Internet. He is wasting valuable time during this 44 period in his life!
45 shall I do? I am worried about it. 46 I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse. How can I help my son 47 hurting our feelings?
Best regards
Liu Zhen
